    So spamming misinformation is ok if you’re spamming it to “gym bros” - got it.

    Doesn’t matter who else is misled as long as the dominant group in the forum gets to experience a teensy vicarious sense of victory over some group they don’t like. That’s how social media morality works.

    I wonder who started the “seed oils are responsible for all evil in the world” trend. That’s another one I’ve heard from people I thought reasonable when discussing food.

    For the record:

    Seed oils are rich in omega-6 fatty acids, especially linoleic acid. Seed oil critics reason that there are pathways in which linoleic acid is converted in the body to other polyunsaturated fatty acids associated with inflammation. However, an overwhelming majority of published scientific literature points to the safety and potential health benefits of linoleic acid in reducing inflammation and risk of coronary artery disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. Contrary to claims that omega-6 fats promote inflammation, research indicates that they do not have harmful pro-inflammatory effects when consumed as part of a balanced diet.

    I swear the social media sphere, for whatever reason, is hell bent on destroying society via death by a thousand cuts. From outright lies to shitty health information to hating higer education.

      You are not that far off. For me:

      Hair grows everywhere except where you want it to.

      It’s a bit easier to gain muscles with the same amount of exercise and the same diet.

      And yes, more irrational aggression to some degree.

      Obviously not because of onions, though

      I feel like there’s this explot in human psychology:

      1. People are pretty bad at matching causes to effects.

      2. Doing something novel / outside your usual routine can feel pretty good, regardless of what it is you’re doing.

      Therefore: People who try weird diets, snake oils, or letting the sun shine on their asshole really do feel better afterwards, at least for a while. That must mean it works!

    • Depends on the onion. A sweet onion, like a vidalia, is almost edible for me. We east green onions raw all the time, and red onions raw, in small amounts, on salads. It’s just volume that makes onions challenging. And age. Onions get more potent as they age.

      But I’d eat a fresh, raw Vidalia; I wouldn’t enjoy it, but it wouldn’t exactly be suffering.

      Am I wrong for liking raw onion? I mean, I wouldn’t eat it like an apple, but I do enjoy sneaking a few pieces when I’m cooking something. The crisp texture is kind of nice. Not to mention green onions - I’ve been biting the heads off of those since I was a kid.

        No. Raw onion is delicious, especially with coriander. Hummus, raw onion, raw shredded cabbag, coriander leaf, and a big dollop of chilli sauce in a wrap. It’s like eating god’s cum.

      I did the raw white onion on peanut butter challenge and it is actually a great pairing. Get some crackers, spread peanut butter, sprinkle some finely diced onions on top.

      That paper reads like it was written by an undergrad going through cargo cult motions of sounding like a scientist. And the evidence is still weak: many of those studies being summarized are studies where they poisoned rats and investigated whether onion juice has some kind of protection against the poison, as measured by testosterone levels.
